HIGHLY QUALIFIED, TRAINED & DEDICATED TEACHERS

HEAD OF ACADEMICS MESSAGE

As the head of academics and marketing coordinator of Sagewood School, I warmly welcome you to the school website. Sagewood School is an independent non-profit school in Noordwyk, Midrand, dedicated to providing quality education since 1985. The school is a distinctive establishment reflecting the hope and optimism of a diverse South Africa and prides itself in the unique way in which it has prepared young men and women to take their place in the challenging social milieu that is the world today.

The foundation that Sagewood is built on is one that embraces diversity and adopts the attitude of being of service to others. The result is a cohesive, dynamic, collaborative nurturing environment in which meaningful learning takes place. The school is owned by, The Sagewood Foundation, a non-profit section 21 company. The school does not follow any religious denomination, but rather teaches respect for all religions and it is demographically representative of the new South Africa. Sagewood today, offers a full spectrum of co-ed school education and has a separate, Pre-Primary, Primary and College (Grades 000 – Grade 12).

We offer a broad curriculum and a range of opportunities for all our learners to achieve excellence in the academic, cultural, and sporting endeavours. Our learners are encouraged to strive for personal excellence in a positive learning environment that not only opens the doors to tertiary institutions but empowers them to navigate the complex life and work environments in the globally competitive information age where creativity, critical thinking and communication are essential life skills. At Sagewood School we help learners to not only achieve an “A” in academics, but an “A” in life. We believe in moulding the whole person, helping learners to become more of who they are, who can express themselves beyond an academic environment and who are skilled for life.

We encourage you to take a moment and navigate through our school website and experience the Sagewoodian flair.
